Alan Smith

[The King]

Big Sam wins race for hitman SmithNewcastle are believed to have beaten Middlesbrough, Aston Villa and Tottenham to the ã3.5million capture of Manchester United's Alan Smith. Magpies boss Sam Allardyce has been a busy man since taking the reins at St James' Park, and is now reported to have added Smith to his list of new recuits, which includes Mark Viduka and Joey Barton. The Toon chief has moved for Red Devils hitman Smith after discovering that strikers Michael Owen and Obafemi Martins have get-out clauses written into their contracts. And 26-year-old Smith, who signed a five-year deal in 2004, is ready to leave Old Trafford after being told he will not be offered a new contract. The former Leeds forward has many admirers, with Gareth Southgate, Martin O'Neill and Martin Jol all keeping tabs on his situation. But he is believed to have been lured to the North-East by the promise of regular first-team football, which he is unlikely to get at the Theatre of Dreams due to the summer arrivals of Portuguese ace Nani and Brazilian star Anderson.

If David Nugent is being talked about for ã10mill then Smithy should at least be attracting ã6-7mill?

I just see this in the paper. smith is easily 6-7mil5mil was the least I expected!They wanted brown and silvestre as well

[Libertine]

Smith is crap

[The King]

Smith is crap

narrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrsmith is sick. his workrate is top notch and he shows passion which then filters onto other players. if its a flat game, bring him on to liven it up and up the tempo. Good in the air and hes an alright finisher. Look at when he first started. Man was smashing in volleys from the edge of the box every match.

Ameobi is f*cking waste, if we sell him for ã2-3M and bring in Smith for ã3.5M then those 4 strikers are top 6 level easily ( If Owen/Martins stay)

[Guest roskie_07]

Smith needs to go to a team like Newcastle he will do good there

[Taurus]

smith is good mannewcastles the right team for himand with sam in charge im sure he will get the best out of smith

[Glock]

Not Manchester United quality. Or Top 4 quality for that matter.

[B Side]

smith is easily 7mil,look at his record and goals when he first arrived and was playing as a forward and not in midfield.

[Young £]

people chat so much sh*t i swear.

[Christopher Daniels]

England international for 3.5m. There should be pure clubs lining up trying to sign him. Wow.

Ur crackers.Ameobi is SICK.Newcastle DO NOT need another forward though.Sam sort out your back line cuz.

[Mr Q]

Is there a clause in managers contracts when they sign for newcastle, which states i wont buy a f*cking defender.

[anelka]

Ive said this many times, Smith is the caucasian version of Emile HeskeyCoz he is blonde & gives "110%" the media give him a bly, but his record is far from impressiveHowever he is a good player wid good technique, his main problem is just like Heskey, he plays 4 the team & does far too much work defensively...Benitez should be sniffing around, he would fit perfectly into the Liverpool regime

[Christopher Daniels]

Did you ever see him play for Leeds?

[The Infamous]

He was average for Leedsnever scored 10 goals in a seasonpoormans ade akinbiyi

Ameobi sick?When he plays he frustrates me like f*ck, he is f*cking wank, he should kiss Smith's feet.Ameobi is Fulham level.Sam's targeted 5 defenders, one is set to sign soon called Rozehnal.

[Wayne Gooney]

[The Infamous]

I like Ameobi, because he always tries hard even if the team are getting battered. But blood, trust, he is not Prem quality.Rozenhal got voted PSG player of the year, not saying much though as they flopped last season, still for the ã2-3M for a Czech international, it's worth the risk, considering we've got like 3 defenders.
